Jacob's Ladder

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson



The clouds prepare for battle

In the dark and brooding silence

Bruised and sullen stormclouds

Have the light of day obscured

Looming low and ominous

In twilight premature

Thunderheads are rumbling

In a distant overture



All at once,

The clouds are parted

Light streams down

In bright unbroken beams



Follow men's eyes

As they look to the skies

The shifting shafts of shining

Weave the fabric of their dreams...
